Stock V8 (90-92 V6 uses same rad) and single fan setup

Just about all of the original parts not directly related to the engine/trans were reused

Driveshaft, rear, brakes, suspension, K-member(no notch), steering, dash, gastank, etc all original

I could have upgraded just about all of that, but the stock stuff worked fine and anything else would be an additional cost. Beginning to end, this swap was under $2,000

All is well, shes back to DD duty. Lots more power than the 305

Very nice. I love when simple things are the culprit.

Wow, another person under the $2,000 mark. Some people talk like this is completely impossible. A little planning and some bargain hunting goes a long way doesn't it?

It took over 9 months to assemble all the parts to do the swap. 90% of the parts are used or DIY

Someone wanting to do the swap quickly can forget any sort of budget constraints or bargain hunting
